Well, we don't even need other books, there is this shape from f116v, which is usually interpreted as 'd', as far as I know.

   

EVA d does look like latin d, I suppose this is exactly the reason why letter d was assigned for this symbol in EVA. However, I'm not sure the image from 70v gives us any new clues here. Regardless of whether the upper loop of d is closed there or not. Voynichese is highly irregular when it comes to glyph shapes, so this could be a weird EVA d, with a broken loop, with a faint big loop, etc.
